		<description>I love that Jackie was blamed yet hates dark chocolate.  I had a roommate in college that would leave notes all over everything accusing me of eating her food/drinking her milk.  I wasn&#039;t (I suspect her boyfriend was coming in when we weren&#039;t home, nice, huh?, or she was eating it in her sleep LOL).  Milk did not agree with me and she accused me often of eating things with coconut.  I hate coconut!!!!</description>

		<description>Thanks for clarifying.  I think you are missing one of my points, though, which is that &quot;elective surgery&quot; is a rather cavalier way to refer to something as fundamental as changing one&#039;s genitals to match one&#039;s gender identity.

Your next statement, &quot;I won’t even get into the men who have sex change operations and live as lesbians or the women that have the operation and live as gay men,&quot; seems even more confused about transgender.  It assumes that the reason (the only legitimate reason?) for someone to change sex is so that he/she can now find the correct (to you?) gender sexually desirable.  It was once common to assume that if a man wanted to have sex with men, he was somehow confused in his gender identity.  I suppose if someone still thinks that, then they might also think that a man who wants to have sex with women stops wanting to if he becomes a woman himself.  I can&#039;t see the logic.  Sexual orientation and gender identity are separate issues, albeit entwined.

Maybe the trouble starts when people start making up rules for other people&#039;s definitions of their own gender and orientation.</description>

		<description>Kelly G-- &lt;i&gt;&quot;Are men who have had their genitals removed due to cancer less of men? No, they’re still men.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

I agree with Kelly:

Are men who have had their genitals surgically altered to function as female genitalia now women? No, they&#039;re still men.

I won&#039;t even get into the men who have sex change operations and live as lesbians or the women that have the operation and live as gay men.</description>

		<description>I summed up trans-gender &lt;b&gt;surgery&lt;/b&gt; as elective surgery, which it is. Not someone being trans-gender.

I clearly stated that comparing genetics and surgery is comparing apples and oranges.

Please read before you chime in.</description>

		<description>If you think transgender can be summed up as &quot;elective surgery&quot; you definitely need to learn more before chiming in on the subject.

Joe saw fit to define people&#039;s sex by their chromosomes.  This is very ignorant, and Kelly correctly informed him that it would yield some surprises, as many people&#039;s chromosomes don&#039;t match the identities they&#039;ve had all their lives and not questioned.  A good job of answering apples with apples, IMO.</description>

		<description>Good kind of chocolate?  

That woman needs to be smacked.  Upside the head, not near the vicinity of the womb.  Setting up her child to be obese AND to lack good taste in chocolate like that.

Well.  If she treats her future child in a similar fashion, she had better cross her fingers that she gets an odd milk chocolate bar or two when she&#039;s ceremoniously dropped off in a nursing home when her daughter/son can&#039;t handle her anymore in her advanced years.

Karma&#039;s rich.  Not unlike dark chocolate.</description>

		<description>Bad preggy - no caffeine for your unborn child, you monster! If you HAVE to consume caffeine during your pregnancy, dark chocolate with its antioxidants is probably a better choice than milk chocolate, anyhow.</description>

		<description>Do people think snacks have less calories if they come from a vending machine rather than buying it at the grocery store and bringing it in? I think these are people who don&#039;t want their family to know  about their piggy snacking.</description>
